    Author Notes:

    Chapter 13

    Chapter 13
    The floor beside her desk was beginning to look like one of those movie scenes where a pile of crumpled papers littered the floor of the anguished author plagued by writer’s block.
    Where should she begin? The start of the letter had to be carefully chosen, should she start with "dear" as is customary, or just use her name but it felt so abrupt.
    Did she have enough confidence in the neatness of her handwriting?
    The one and only fact she was sure off, was the date. Meagre beginnings but one of mighty importance. If it arrives at destination, this letter may be treasured for a long time and could even be an important piece of memorabilia waiting to be uncovered in the future.
    Bette paused for a while, contemplating the task she had set for herself. She could not remember the last time she had sat at her desk to compose a hand-written letter.
    She smiled at the picture which entered her mind. The private setting of an elegant study, surrounded by leather bound books on library shelves, a bare page in front of her, a quill in her hand ready to be dipped in the black ink in front of her. Inspiration was mounting.
    She had forgotten how exhilarating letter writing could be. In this fast paced world, no one would think anymore about sending hand-written letters, they were too burdensome. It takes next to no time to send an email or a text and your words can be read almost instantly half way across the world in the different time zone. You can catch up with the future or return to the past in the simple click of a button.
    Bette reminisced for a while and thought about the joyful experience of walking down to the mailbox in the cold and wet to discover that you have received a letter. The elation it procured the reader,  to know that they were thought of in a true and meaningful way, valued as a person, deserving of someone’s full attention for the length of time it took to compose the letter.
    She readied her expensive fountain pen. She studied its gold nib for a while. She could see the black ink in the small channel which ran along the top of it. The ink will be flowing along it, awaiting to be evenly distributed onto the paper as Bette penned every word with careful precision.  She preferred black ink, elegant and timeless, the pen would retrieve its supply of it from the little cartridge within, but Bette knew that the inspiration would come from the metaphorical inkwell in her heart.

    2. These days only a few things can put a smile on my face-animals, babies and a post from you! Thanks for posting. And such a fairy tale like chapter! Alas! Magic is vanishing!

    3. Oh my god! If all falls into place this might as well be one of the most romantic thing I have ever read. Thanks for the post and I also hope that you post soon. :)

    5. Thanks for the individual shout-out. I’m flattered and I’m taking your advice to heart. Please don’t end this story…please…it is too good to end.

    6. Kins, you really have this wonderful skill as to find the most appropriate words that will describe best the thought that goes through your mind. When reading about the concept of (hand)writing and receiving a letter, it was as if I could see the images directly from your mind, be slowly transfered into words. You write exactly like you feel, with no overthinking in between. The same could be said about this line: “This is what vicious circles are made out of, (…) a never ending brain scrambling, bag of mixed emotions.” A simple line, but oh so true. For some reason, that line speaks to me tonight, and that’s what I call talent: to be able to touch your reader(s), even in the smallest way. Thanks, you cheeky tease, but now on with that letter for God’s sake! ;) K.

    7. I was excited to see your post until I read the first sentence. Definitely yes to dragging it out longer, not necessarily a wee bit though. Loved the description of letter writing. I used to love writing letters as I am so shy, but could profess my feelings quite readily on paper. So curious to read the letter. Brilliant story, kins!

    8. Hi Kins: I’ve been without internet for the past week, so it was a great pleasure to catch up. How on earth did the guy come to have the letter? I will have to re-read! Thank you.

    11. Of course I trust you to make it right just please don’t make it end too soon. We are going to need to know what they are doing after Tina gets the letter and they are reunited and their lives together into the future. This is a really lovely story and I for one want to see them bloom into the lovers that we want them to be and that we all know they can be. Their love just surrounds them and us. They just have to admit it to themselves and to each other. Fantastic chapter. Thanks for posting.

    12. now that was sneaky of bette… i bet she was following her and sat behind her and left her the letter… nice… i like that… can’t wait for her to read it… pps

    13. wow i love how you resorted back tp the subway. i wasnt expecting that i dont know why either lol. if its from Bette which it should be, she made the right choice and i guess fate takes them both by surprise again. dont make me wait too long and i wont make you wait to long for my next post. im having abit of trouble with my writing of chap8 :/

    15. Please I want to read it. I want to read it now. Such a tease you are. Dont keep them apart for long. Really?? U will end the chapter here?? Really??By the way I love this story.

    16. Haha well done Bette! Completement d’accord sur l’art épistolaire, on écrit plus assez de lettres! Et merci pour le regain d’espoir rapport à la “froggité” (u know, being a frog)^^. Anyway, loving this more and more. SPB!! ;)

    17. This is such a wonderful story and so excellently written. Please post soon can’t wait to see what Bette’s written. Thank you for this story.

    19. Good thing you’ve changed your mind for cutting your story short. .. And who is the guy?..wow?..Is he some kind of?…An angel?.. [Cuz I’m thinking that letter is from …] pps

    21. Whoa..?? Coming to an end! Noooo :-0 it’s too good to be ended, isn’t it? :-) I’m giving you my best smile to convince you ;-) LOL. I hope you will enlighten me on how Bette ensure that Tina is receiving her letter, then I am curious to know what’s being written there.. Then… How is Tina’s reaction, then… What will happen to those women… Then … ;-) see? So many things your reader want to know?! Ha3 … It’s the trend of following, waiting, and reading what you post, and hand writing the love letter to the special someone… :-) PPVS! thanks! :-)

    22. hey there kins! I really enjoy this story and i love how romantic bette and tina are. I just hope that after reading bette’s letter that tina will realize that bette really loves her and that she will find the will to talk to her..can’t wait 4 ur next post.tnx!
